Nee's Desk

Not much has been going on this past month except being cold and tired. This weather has kept us busy keeping a fire going and keeping our old horse comfortable and healthy. I did go walking one day, in the drifty-white field when the temps where not in the negatives.

Now, we have the mud to contend with.

I have been practicing archery in my old basement most days. I’m patiently waiting for my new horse-bow to come in so I can get some real practice in.

I have gotten back on track with my mostly-vegan based diet, since the holidays have passed. It was a year, as of January 1st, that my husband and I started on this venture because of autoimmune issues. It has made a big difference in how I feel.​

​The snow has melted and the mud is deep. It’s difficult trying to get your horse worked and prepared for riding with all the soft sticky ground to trip in, especially if she gets rebellious and rowdy. I just do what I can.

I have been working on my latest painting. It’s been a very slow process with this cold, lethargic weather.

I started back on my mourning yoga routine this past week. It helps with pretty much all of my aches and pains and gets me limbered up, if done on a regular schedule. I always stretch before bedtime, but morning and night works best for me.​

January's featured painting: Awakening Rift

Awakening Rift is a 20x16 acrylic on canvas.

It was inspired by the Missing 411 cases, that are being continuously researched and chronicled by David Paulides and his team, in the Missing 411 book series, and social media venues.

I wanted to bring awareness to these strange disappearances in our national forests and other locations, around the world, all sharing common threads.
